Best 5 Cod With Fennel Dill And Tomato Recipes

COD WITH FENNEL, MUSHROOMS, TOMATO & DILL

Steps:

• Season cod with salt and pepper and squeese 2 lemon wedges over; set aside.
• Spray nonstick frypan with veggie spray, heat over high heat, add mushrooms, fennel and onion, reserving 4 onion slices. Cook stirring until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Place the 4 pieces of cod on top of the veggies; place one slice of tomato on top each piece of cod and one slice of reserved onion slices on top of tomato. Sprinkle with Dill and squeese 2 more wedges of lemon over all; cover and simmer until cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.
• Garnish with remaining lemon wedges and sprigs of fennel leaves.

30-MINUTE COD WITH LEMONY BRAISED FENNEL

Steps:

• Trim the tops and bottoms from the fennel bulbs, reserving a handful of the fronds for garnish. Quarter the bulbs. Set each quarter on its side and slice off most of the core. Cut the quarters into wedges about 1-inch thick (don't worry if some pieces fall off the wedge-use those too).
• Put 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Place over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add the fennel and cook without stirring until fennel is brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Stir and let the fennel continue to cook until some more pieces brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup water to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and several grinds of pepper. Lower the heat to medium, cover the skillet, and cook 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle the cod with salt and pepper and place on top of the fennel. Cover the pan again and simmer, adding more liquid occasionally if the pan is dry, until the fennel is very tender and the cod is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, chop the reserved fennel fronds (you should have about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons) and remove the zest from the lemon. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breadcrumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until the breadcrumbs brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper, and allow to cool. Mix the fennel fronds and lemon zest into the breadcrumbs until combined.
• Juice the lemon. Roughly chop the olives.
• When the cod and fennel are done, stir in the lemon juice and the olives. Remove from the heat and let stand for about 1 minute to warm the olives. Transfer the fennel and cod to serving bowls and top the fish with the toasted breadcrumbs. Pour any remaining pan juices over the fennel.

PAN-SEARED COD WITH CREAMY FENNEL RAGOûT

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon oil to fat in skillet, then cook fennel with salt and pepper over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add broth, cream, tomatoes, and garlic to fennel and cook, partially covered, over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until fennel is tender and cream is slightly thickened, about 20 minutes.
• While fennel cooks, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Season fillets with salt and pepper, then sauté 4 minutes. Turn over and sauté until just cooked through, about 3 minutes more.
• Stir mustard and bacon into fennel ragout and season with salt and pepper. Serve cod over fennel ragout.

FISH GRILLED ON FENNEL OR DILL

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal or gas grill (for broiling instructions, see the variation below). The fire should be quite hot and the grill rack should be about 4 inches from the heat source.
• When the grill is ready, make a bed of the fennel or dill stalks. Sprinkle the fish lightly with salt and pepper, and lay it (skin side down, if there is a skin side) directly onto the fennel or dill. Close the grill if possible, and cook, without turning, until the fish is done; it will be just about opaque all the way through and offer no resistance to a thin-bladed knife in about 10 minutes.
• While the fish is cooking, mince or grind the fennel seeds. Cut about 1 inch off each end of the lemon, and juice those pieces; slice the remaining lemon thinly.
• When the fish is done, remove it from the grill, leaving as much of the stalks behind as possible (some of the burned fronds will adhere to the fish; they are fine to eat in tiny quantities). Sprinkle the fish with the fennel or dill seeds, then decorate it with the lemon slices. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil, and serve.
